Hi I used to work at one of the local pubs so I have been a guest at a few hog roasts. On my 28th birthday I decided to show everyone that I could cook. I bought some fish and lamb off hog roast hire Atherstone it was a big salmon. They delivered the hog roast machine I thought, what have I let myself in for. Hog roast hire Atherstone demonstrated it to me and I picked it up first time. The method of cooking means that the meat cooks in its own juices and keeps it succulent leaving time to socialise. This girl I had liked for ages was so impressed to see a man cooking she asked me out and we are still together now. The lamb was perfect and the fish cooked in the oven I did it with salad. My mum bought the minted potatoes as I am no cook. My boss was so impressed he booked a hog roast. Well as you can guess the lamb became the talking point and stopped my friends telling my workmates stories of me being drunk. The theme was red - my friend Ted turned up in red Jeepers creepers those shoes with thick soles. I asked the DJ to Play Jailhouse Rock then sent Ellie over to teach him how top jive anyway he ended up with a sore back. They also came at picked the machine up when it was over. That is all I am confessing to and I’m off to meet Jess bye.
